On this album, Nicki Parrott performs collection of well-known Theme songs from Hollywood movies. She has that special gift you cannot buy in a music store. She plays the bass fabulously, and has a singing voice that shares the relaxed sexiness of Julie London and the coquettishness of Blossom Dearie.

Italy's Giuseppe Milici began his musical life as a hired jazz gun (harmonica actually). He did TV shows in his homeland before branching out into classical in 1998. The past two decades have seen him become an international star and now he returns with his latest long player, The Look Of Love. As the title suggests, this is a collection of modern classics reworked in the smooth, jazzy Milici style. Highlights of the 15 tracks featured include the loungey jive of "I Will Survive", the playful "Singin' In The Rain" and the Latin tinged rendition of Stevie's "Isn't She Lovely".

Laurindo Almeida (September 2, 1917 – July 26, 1995) was a Brazilian virtuoso guitarist and composer who made many recordings of enduring impact in classical, jazz and Latin genres. He is widely credited, with fellow artist Bud Shank, for creating the fusion of Latin and jazz which came to be known as the jazz samba.

Features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD player) and the latest 24bit 192kHz remastering. With its mix of pop covers and jazz material, The Look of Love could be considered a typical Turrentine album from the late '60s. What sets this and a few other of his Blue Note titles apart, though, are the full yet tasteful string and band arrangements by jazz flügelhorn player and composer Thad Jones. With his flexible phrasing and muscular tone, Turrentine dives into the lush arrangements, especially on the sweeping rendition of Burt Bacharach's "Look of Love."

Based vaguely on some of the more significant compositions by Burt Bacharach and goes on moving through standards of the same harmonic and melodic intensity given by authors like H. Carmichael and G. Gershwin.

This compilation mixes material from various sources from the latter part of Vic Damone's career (which is to say, after he departed the major labels in the late 1960s). He tackles a selection of Jimmy Webb's late-'60s hits including "Didn't We?," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and "MacArthur Park," as well as other songs of the era such as the Stevie Wonder hit "For Once in My Life," O.C. Smith's "Little Green Apples," Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and the theme from the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, "We Have All the Time in the World." Studio recordings give way to live tracks, while the album's final selections sound like they may be its earliest recordings.

Deanna Reuben captures the essence of romance through her heartfelt interpretation of our favorite songs. The Look of Love sends a message clearer than flowers or a box of candy or dinner and a movie. With this session, you get clarion vocals with a stellar jazz quintet that sparkles brightly through sensual ballads and upbeat rhythms. Tenor saxophonist Larry McKenna serves as Reuben's musical partner, adding rapturous melodies to her resonant vocal themes…
